Attribution Model Confidence Interval Calculator

Estimate a confidence interval for the share of conversions assigned to a channel, campaign, or touchpoint. Enter the attributed count, total observed conversions, and confidence level to see the observed share, sampling margin, and plausible lower and upper bounds.

Higher confidence produces a wider interval.

How to use this calculator

  1. Enter the measured or planned inputs using consistent definitions.
  2. Select the confidence or significance setting when shown.
  3. Choose Calculate to update the main estimate and supporting metrics.
  4. Review the assumptions and interpretation before using the result in a decision.

Formula

p̂ = x ÷ n; Wilson interval = (p̂ + z²/2n ± z√[(p̂(1−p̂)+z²/4n)/n]) ÷ (1+z²/n)

x is the counted successes, n is the sample, and z is the selected confidence critical value.

What the result means

Use the main result together with the supporting bounds, counts, or capacity figures. The estimate is only as reliable as the input definitions, sampling process, and operating assumptions.

This interval reflects binomial sampling uncertainty. It does not capture tracking loss, identity resolution errors, model misspecification, or correlated conversions.

Example calculation

With 420 successes from 1000 observations at 95% confidence, the observed rate is 42.00%. The calculator applies the Wilson formula to report the corresponding lower and upper bounds.

Tips for better results

  • Write the metric definition before collecting data.
  • Use representative production periods rather than convenient samples.
  • Keep units and inclusion rules consistent across comparisons.
  • Recalculate when traffic mix, system design, or audit rules change.
  • Treat the result as decision support, not a substitute for monitoring and domain review.

Frequently asked questions

What confidence interval does this attributed conversion share calculator use?

It uses the Wilson score interval for a binomial proportion, which behaves better than a simple symmetric interval near 0% and 100%.

Can the successful count exceed the total count?

No. The counted successes must be between zero and the total number of observations.

Should I choose 90%, 95%, or 99% confidence?

A higher confidence level creates a wider interval. Use the level specified in your analysis plan; 95% is a common general-purpose choice.

Does a narrow interval prove the measurement is unbiased?

No. A narrow interval indicates low sampling uncertainty but does not remove systematic tracking, selection, or modeling bias.

Can I compare two intervals to prove a difference?

Interval overlap is not a complete significance test. Use a direct two-proportion comparison when the decision depends on a difference between groups.
